Lyrics
Verse 1
旗は遠くで 風に揺れて
届きそうで 立ち止まる
一打で決めたい そんな夜ほど
胸の奥が ざわめいてる
Pre-Chorus
強く振れば 物語は
ここで終わる それでも
刻むことを 怖れていた
弱さの名を 呼ばれること
Chorus（English）
This is not running away
This is not giving up the fight
I’m choosing to let the story last
To walk a little slower through the night
This is not running away
It’s choosing how the pages turn
I don’t need to win it all at once
I just need to learn
Verse 2
九番アイアン やわらかな音
空は低く 黙ってる
一歩下がると 見えてくる
ピンより近い 心の場所
Pre-Chorus
一発で終わる 拍手より
続きがある 静けさを
任せることを 選んだ時
自分が 少し大人になる
Chorus（English）
This is not running away
This is not choosing fear
I’m trusting all the quiet steps
That slowly bring me near
This is not running away
It’s choosing how the story grows
Not every victory needs a shout
Some just softly glow
Bridge（ピアノ間奏・長め）
寄せて 外して
それでも 歩いて
完璧じゃない線の上
人生は 転がっていく
Last Chorus（English・少し展開）
This is not running away
I can finally say it loud
I don’t rush the ending anymore
I let the moments count
This is not running away
I choose the longer view
The beauty’s in the staying here
And seeing it through
Outro
旗はまだ 揺れている
でも 焦らなくていい
この一打も
物語の 大切な一文
